What can I do to stop that? Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!) This bothers me in any classroom atmosphere no matter what age group. In my class to reduce the packing up their backpacks I would have them out of reach like in their cubbies so it wouldnt even be possible. But if cubbies aren't an option in an older classroom I would have an end of the day activity. Like a riddle or something that the students would have to solve the last 10 minutes of class. Once the activity is solved they may pack up. But if any student is to pack up before their activity is completed they will recieve a 0 on their "End of the Day Riddle" for that day.
